1About
I am a tech entrepreneur with a focus on applied machine learning problems. Currently, I serve as a Staff Technical Program Manager for Google Gemini AI, where I lead the development of infrastructure, platforms, and new features to advance Google Gemini's generative AI capabilities. Before this role, I was a TPM leader for Google Search Ads, where I helped build a robust infrastructure for search ads and innovate at scale, particularly focusing on machine learning capabilities. Prior to my time at Google, I worked at Amazon as a Senior Manager TPM for Alexa AI and Principal TPM for Alexa for PC, where I played a significant role in advancing AI technologies and their applications. My career began with positions that honed my technical and leadership skills. I was the Head of IT at TranscribeMe, where I led the development of high-accuracy speech recognition services. Additionally, I served on the Board of Directors for World Mentor, a non-profit that connects young people with business mentors globally. Early in my career, I was a Summer Consultant at The Boston Consulting Group, working on customer churn reduction strategies and market sizing. I also developed an award-winning web application for St John Ambulance in New Zealand. My educational background includes an MBA from Stanford University and dual degrees in Commerce (Honors) and Science from The University of Auckland.Tech Stack
